Pietra Publications

Artist Tom Van den Wijngaert started Pietra Publications in 2017 in Ghent to publish his zines and prints. In his work, he takes a closer look at themes such as memory, souvenirs and (queer) intimacy. Following a loose common thread, Van den Wijngaert’s books combine his personal research with his love of history, semiotics and wordplay. The publications mostly consist of photography and text, only occasionally veering from that path. Since starting Pietra Publications, Van den Wijngaert has attended book and zine fairs across Europe. His work has also been included in several libraries and collections.
